homeless at a park...

of ripe raw sadness...

grinding melodies of youth

Clad in a garish green muu-muu, she danced
wildly to golden oldies.
Dumbfounded grandkids stared.

Message for oldies, 
Fair and fat, selfies delete!
Our faces look fat,
Lard butts expand, beyond gross,
Unhelpful, to say the least!...

Old guys happily jamming in bars--- is life's childlike pleasantry.

You're so varicose vein,
Youth is gone again,
I suppose I'm still lucky,
I found my glasses, you see,
That's as good as it gets today,
Let's hear it for oldies, yah!...

Oldies but goodies still turn my crank
Perry, Deano, Nat and of course Frank
Civilized crooners
Before the “baby boomers”
They were it, a pure expression of swank...

Listening to oldies I fell asleep late
And dreamt I was back in 1958
Jobs were denied due to race
Women all knew their place
I awoke to recall things weren't all that great!

Wrinkled clothes stacked near my ironing board
will just lie there, completely ignored
‘cause today I’ll be groovin’.
To the oldies I’m movin’
like a teen to the hits most adored....

Listening to oldies 
Is a flashback through your mind.
Letting the disco, rock and roll, and pop
Take you back to that time
Where life was left on the dance floor
And you had to be “Stayin’ Alive, Stayin’ Alive”....

An amigo has accused me of reposting some oldies
What kind of deviant does he think I am, this old crony
I'm respectable as hell
But I do have my spells
When there's no response I just yell “giddy up pony!!!”...

Warm weather this year is approaching slowly
By now we should be sweating to the golden oldies
Such as it is
That's show biz
Don't know about you but my favourite cheese is colby

Well it rhymes doesn't it!!!...

(From Skiffle to Fame)

Quarrymen were a group
Quite good oldies do say
Quirky to the youth now
Quaint compared to these days.
Quoth Sir Paul McCartney
Quips John Lennon as well
Question’s metamorphosis.

Humid day
BY; TOM
2006

Clouds intermittently perspiring; 
Can’t call it “Sweating With The Oldies”,
Clouds newly formed.
Thunder echoes across the Heavens,
Is God teasing?
Or will Ernestine’s car
Finally get washed?

Hours of horrible happenings
Afraid of aerobatics’ artist
Lovely and lively lyrics by louts
Luggage of lies and loss fills the land
Outrageous onslaught on oldies
Weird wards willing to waste
Excitements erode the egomania
Elite excused? …Not exempted
Naughty ninjas at night niggle....

Highlanders last post
For a little while at least
Thank you for sharing

All your writing feasts
Commenting will continue
When time does allow

Oldies and newbies
Will all continue to wow
Bye everybody

My pens laid to rest
Pastures new I now journey
To persue a new zest...

Sitting in the sun, wearing my Mickey Mouse reds,
I feel a kindship to all the other oldies 
Who appreciate loose clothes,
a full belly,
a warm cat,
a happy dog,
a pretty November day
Sunday laziness,
good health,
a thriving family
a TV set and computer that work
and the ability to enjoy the simple things...

The soil sailed by the North Sea wind into road traffic all,

as oldies remember their parents, grand parents talk of 

being transferred to England's little Dust Belt of the Thirties;

while the fast foreign labour surprised by the gentle English 

weather getting annoyed with one and all, its just like home after all....

Mmmm, steamy, hot and black.....I love it...anywhere, any kind!

In the Starbucks coffee house, on the corner of 3rd and Pine...
As the radio plays the oldies...while we're driving Route 99
With the family around a table, and some lovely friends of mine
And the best is in my comfy chair...a mug...a book.....DIVINE!!...

Shadowy silver curls of sweat
Beads of pearls along the way
Coats of pink nail polish
With sparkling silver overlay
Easy streets yet broken beats
Of concrete noise in an urban throng
Of despair and hollow noise
Dogs and cats eat the wooden bark
Of coquettish thriving meows
Silver singles, oh yes, us oldies do mingle...

The mellow sounds
of Lawrence Welk
are gone,
Guy Lombardo, too.
I remember when
Johnny Mercer
wrote the hits
and Dinah Shore
sang them true.
Do these names 
mean nothing
to you…perhaps
The Beatles are
your cup of tea?
Then think, my friend,
and be not dismayed
for you are nearly
as old as me!
